I came across an item in yesterday's New York Times that I thought people might enjoy. If anyone else took Constitutional Law with Mr. Justice James MacPherson (known at the time as "Jimmy Dean"), you may recall him saying that the SCC always reminded him of "All Along the Watchtower," looking out to make sure that all was well. He cited Jimi Hendrix as the artist, but in fact, the composer was Bob Dylan, who heads the list as most popular lyricist among jurists in the U.S.
It would be nice to know what the breakdown is among Canadian decisions. Perhaps it could be a new Carswell feature; an audiolink to any referenced song could be embedded in the judgment.

I have references to songs - or at least poetry - which I will submit as the next "Quote of the Week" (in tehe hope that someone actually reads them).
I always read the quote of the week, the month or whatever time period seems convenient. Looking forward to that feature waxing poetic and/or lyrical.
